In memory of precious Aramea

"Thank you for your beautiful & loving support for our family in this unimaginable loss of our beautiful daughter, Aramea - who just turned 12.

Your caring messages and generous support for our family as we grieve the loss of our beloved Aramea. Tragically an unknown heart problem took her in an instant on Thurs 16 Feb. We are eternally grateful to the incredible emergency workers who tried so hard to bring her back to us.

It's been an exceptionally painful couple of weeks and we are just starting to come out of the shock and into the unbelievable and crushing reality of life without Aramea. I'm sorry I've not been able to reach out sooner to thank you all xoxo

We're trying to find a way to live in the beautiful memories & loving spirit that Aramea has gifted us. To find the strength and wisdom to face the future without our beloved Aramea growing into the beautiful young woman she was starting to become. The loss is beyond words.

Please help us keep Aramea's memory alive and especially the kindness that was so distinctly her. Please put Aramea's birthday, 27 January 2011, in your calendars and on that day each year please wish Aramea a very Happy Birthday and then do a simple homemade act of kindness for someone - it could be anything like a card, painted rock, smiley face chalk drawing, baking, handpicked flowers etc. Aramea was always doing little acts of kindness for others, including her beloved cat, Star, and I'd love her kind spirit to stay with us.

Nga mihi nui,
